“…Regardless of differences, they were closely interrelated since all these factors reflected demanding organizational conditions. As the authors (Liang and Chu, 2009;Morkevi ci ut_ e et al, 2021) emphasized their considerable importance, in the current study the hypotheses will be tested by examining employee's perceptions of these particular demanding conditions, which are presented and explained below.…”

PurposeIn the literature, work addiction is proposed to be considered a construct that requires an extensive approach for understanding it; consequently, it should be analyzed as the interaction between personal and situational factors. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine the mediating role work motivation plays in the relationship between perceived demanding organizational conditions and employee work addiction.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional study was conducted on a convenience sample of 669 workers from different organizations in Lithuania. Data were collected using online self-administered questionnaire. To test a mediation model, a structural equation modeling path analysis was performed.FindingsDemanding organizational conditions (i.e. work addiction of a manager, the workload, a work role conflict, a competitive organizational climate and the family-unsupportive organizational environment) were related to increased work addiction through higher extrinsic motivation. The mediator of intrinsic motivation yielded different results: the indirect relationship between demanding organizational conditions and work addiction was significant only at lower levels of intrinsic motivation. Even having controlled work motivation as a mediator, the proposed direct links remained significant in most cases.Originality/valueThe study gives a profound understanding of work addiction and explains the mechanism activated by an organization that is of great importance for its development and maintenance.

“…These mainly included personality traits (such as perfectionism, type A personality [ 8 ], extraversion, conscientiousness, intellect/imagination, negative affectivity, global and performance-based self-esteem [ 17 ], self-efficacy, neuroticism [ 18 ], etc.) and organizational variables (organizational climate, such as psychological climate for overwork [ 19 , 20 ], work characteristics, such as workload [ 18 , 21 ], working conditions, such as remote work [ 22 ], etc.). However, some authors (Robinson [ 23 ] probably was one of the most influential ones) noted that social influences and, more specifically, people surrounding an individual may also act as important factors inducing work addiction.…”

The aim of the study was to examine the mediating role that work motivation plays in the relationship between perceived work addiction of parents and their adult child’s work addiction. The sample was comprised of 537 participants working in different Lithuanian organizations that were selected on the basis of the convenience principle. Data were collected by means of online self-administered questionnaires. To test a mediation model, a structural equation modeling was performed. It was found that perceived work addiction of both mother and father was related to higher levels of work addiction of their adult child. The results also indicated that perceived work addiction of the father was related to increased work addiction in an adult child through higher levels of extrinsic motivation as a partial mediator. The indirect effect of perceived work addiction of the mother (via extrinsic motivation) was not significant. As was expected, the indirect relationship between work addiction in parents and their adult child via intrinsic motivation was not significant. This study demonstrates that integrating both family-related and motivational variables may provide relevant insights into the nature of and mechanisms underlying work addiction and that studies in this field deserve to be further developed in future research.

“…The work addiction literature has focused on internal factors as the antecedents of this phenomenon, such as perfectionism,11 12 self-esteem13 and neuroticism,14 rather than external forces (eg, work pressure15). A recent meta-analysis concluded that less than 20% of empirical studies on work addiction had external factors as an antecedent in their theoretical model 14.…”

et al. 2023

ObjectivesWork addiction is not contingent on personality alone; it is also impacted by social contextual factors. Work addiction influences the perceived quality of care and intention to remain in healthcare sector. The current study seeks to understand the role of ethical climate as a potential organisational lever to reduce such addiction, especially among newcomers.DesignWe contacted a sample of Canadian healthcare organisations to collect quantitative data using an online questionnaire from November 2021 to February 2022. All constructs (ethical climate, work addiction, perceived quality of care, intention to quit the profession) were measured using validated psychometric scales. 860 respondents provided complete questionnaires. We analysed the data using structural equation modelling and regression analysis.ResultsWork addiction mediated the indirect relationship between ethical climate and the intention to quit the profession (β=−0.053; 95% CI (−0.083 to –0.029); p<0.001) and with quality of care (β=0.049; 95% CI (0.028, 0.077); p<0.001). For each increase of 1 SD of ethical climate, the total effects regarding the variations in the outcomes were more important at low rather than high levels of tenure for work addiction (−11%, −2%), perceived quality of care (23%, 11%) and intention to quit the profession (−30%, −23%), respectively.ConclusionEthical climate in healthcare organisations has a significant and beneficial relationship with healthcare workers’ (HCWs) work addiction behaviours. In turn, this relationship is related to greater perceived quality of care and higher intention to remain, especially for HCWs with lower tenure.
